> Reddit Posts & Subreddit Search is a paid API for AI agents from social.duoleads.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability reddit-posts-subreddit-search-a06e38e6
```

Example prompt: Search Reddit for posts mentioning 'mechanical keyboards' in the r/MechanicalKeyboards subreddit and show me the top results with their upvotes and comment counts.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search Reddit specifically — by keyword, subreddit, or both — and want structured post metadata (upvotes, comments, author, timestamp). Prefer this over the cross-platform Social Search endpoint when you only need Reddit data and want more control (subreddit filtering, pagination). Choose the Reddit Post Comments endpoint instead when you already have a post ID and need its comment thread.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or nonexistent subreddit name returns not-found (no charge)
- Malformed or empty query string returns bad input response (no charge)
- No posts matching the search keyword returns empty items array (no charge)
- Expired or invalid cursor returns pagination error
- Rate limiting or upstream Reddit data unavailability may cause temporary failures

## How this service works

Reddit Posts & Subreddit Search: search public Reddit posts by keyword, within one subreddit, or list a subreddit's newest posts. Per post the title, text, subreddit, author, upvotes, comment count, linked URL, time and permalink in the shared social schema; next_cursor gives the next page. Forum research and social listening. Bad input is free; not found or no match is not charged.

## Output

A paginated JSON list of Reddit posts, each containing the post ID, title, body text, subreddit/community name, author handle, upvote count, comment count, any linked URL, creation timestamp, and a direct permalink. Also includes a next_cursor field for fetching additional pages, the original query parameters, and a platform disclaimer.
